New Theme, and a note about my blog host
So, what do you think? I was ready for a new theme (yeah, I get bored easily), and this one jumped out at me for being spring-y and fun.
As luck would have it, I also had to get WordPress upgraded in order to use the theme.
So, last night I turned in a ticket around 11:00 or so, medium priority, asking that the upgrade be done. I had an email this morning that it was ready. Not bad, huh?
Many of you may know that I’m a programmer, so the irony that I pay for this type of work probably isn’t lost on you. I enjoy programming, but it isn’t something that I want to delve into at home. When I’m writing, I want technology to be as invisible as possible, which means someone else does my blog maintenance.
The host I use is Open Source Host. They’re inexpensive, and the service is fantastic. No, I don’t own stock or anything like that. These guys are just good at what they do. They do your installs and upgrades as a part of the hosting plan, and even better, they’ll install whatever open source platform you want (blog, wiki, cms, etc.) Look at Open Source CMS for a list of what they offer.
If you’re thinking of moving your blog to another host (you don’t have to change domain names), then give these guys a look.

I LOVE the new them. It is so happy and fun and just perfect for you.
I understand what you mean about not working at home. Though my “job” is as an executive secretary, I also function as our company’s “back-up IT” person. As a general rule, I am a helper but it gets terribly frustrating when people ask me (kindly and without realizing how irritating it is) to fix their computer every time I visit. It isn’t that I can’t do it…just that I don’t want to always be working.
I’m so happy you’ve found a hosting service you love. There aren’t enough places anymore that have excellent customer service.
